	Angra (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Angra is a power metal band from São Paulo, Brazil known for putting regional elements in their songs.
		Angra was formed in 1991 by ex-Spitfire duo guitarist Rafael Bittencourt and drummer Marco Antunes, as well as vocalist André Matos, who had recently left Viper, former Firebox bassist Luís Mariutti and guitarist Kiko Loureiro.
		Angra would play live in Japan and appeared in The Rock Machine Festival in Spain, the famed Wacken Open Air event in Germany and The ProgPower Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, which was their first visit to the USA.

	Metallian.com - Angra
		Angra always has a touring keyboardist in tow and the members are all recognized experts and instructors in their field.
		Despite that, the band's approach is too melodic for the average heavy metal fan and further impaired by the glut of harmonization in the vocals and the abundance of keyboards.
		Angra's fifth full-length album, Temple Of Shadows, is a concept album which narrates the story of an eleventh century crusader soldier called The Shadow Hunter.

	Angra - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Angra's sophomore effort was an ambitious, if not always "perfect" effort, which blended native South American sounds, Latin-influenced pop, and classical bombast with power metal.
		Angra also incorporates a bit of orchestration to the music, which is evident immediately in the album opener "Wings of Reality".
		The band is chock full of talent so they do get a nod in their favor for that, as well as showing there is some creativity at work.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		Here was a premier progressive metal band, from a country outside of Europe -- namely Brazil -- with their star on an steep upward arc, even if the reaction to Fireworks wasn't with the same furvor that people were reacting to, say, Holy Land.
		But, whereas before there was this unique "Angra" quality, that little bit extra is gone -- and I can't say which of the departed members it can be attributed to, other than to say that Falaschi has a singing voice that is very much the norm for this genre.
		Angra's status as one of the premier progressive metal bands is intact, their star is still ascending, and Rebirth is welcome return and continuation.

	THE ABYSS - A tribute to Stratovarius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Whith the recently desapearing of great pop rock bands in Brasil (Legião Urbana and others), and with the decadence of the brazilian pop rock, the metal bands is the only good thing we, brazilians, have now.
		The band is very alive and strong, the most recent good new is the return of Bruce Dickinson to the vocals.
		This band can be considered as one of the new promesses of metal, and they have only two albuns until now.

	ANGRA 2003 interview
		Since "Rebirth" was the first album with the new line-up, we needed to prove that the band is the same, the sound is the same and so on.
		I think that people can say now "the band is Angra, the song is a little bit different, a little heavier, but it's Angra, that's no problem".
		This dvd will show the people that the band is stronger than ever and the most important thing is to show the feeling of the audience around the world.

	Angra - Nightwish.com Forum
		Like the mythical Goddess of Fire from which they take their name, Angra is a band that balances grace and beauty with devastating power.
		The band have long been a phenomenon in their home land, and have made huge waves in Japan, France and Germany in the last few years.
		I love Angra! I don't think that there are so many similarities with Rhapsody and I think Rebirth is their worst album (although it is not a bad album), I would recommend Holy land, Temple of shadows and Angels cry.

	Metal Rules!!: Interview with Angra
		The band was already a great success, one of the biggest heavy metal bands around the world, when manager Gloria Cavalera was fired and her husband and Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera decided to leave the band with her.
		Angra is an important band for the Brazilian heavy metal scene, since it’s one of the bigger and most respected Brazilian bands outside the country.
		Now, with this problem in the line up, the band is aware of how their importance increases, since they will be showing the world different names, different talents, people that are not know for the world heavy metal scene.

	No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Angra
		Angra live are as good as Angra studio, plus the live renditions even add a bit of aggression that can't be captured in a studio.
		I'm not really sure how to describe it, but Angra are unlike many other melodic or progressive bands in that their sound is a bit happier, without losing the aggression.
		Angra have always been on the lighter side of metal, but the band seems to have stepped it up a notch here.

	ANGRA Rebirth reviews and MP3
		Neither the “reborn” Angra nor the new band from their former members, Shaman, will repeat the precious jewel that Holy Land was.
		In fact, Angra is not the same band anymore that wrote Holy Land and Fireworks, that disappointed me a little, but I think they’re doing a great job and that’s what counts, they still sound refreshing and this can assure us more Angra for a long time.
		The band seems to have little interest in keep making progressive metal, Andre Matos must have been the member who was more into prog music (his band Shaman has material that is far more progressive).

	Interview with Andre Matos of Angra
		The whole band was living on a farm out in the the countryside and we had to leave with the album ready to record.
		The whole band was into the same mood, talking about things from Brazil, mixing of culture, race and religion, etc. From this song the whole concept was born.
		Sepultura were a band that was breaking out of Brazil and we thought if they can could do it we could too, but musical and concept-wise I think we have little to do with each other.

		Judging by the liner notes, the band seems to be led by Robert Santamaría, who plays guitar, bass and keyboards plus a dizzying array of related instruments such as saz, autoharp, dulcimer, glockenspiel, marimba and many others.
		One of the very few German symphonic bands that sang in their own language, Anabis were one of those early eighties bands that owed much to Genesis and Eloy in their symphonic period) and were a band that went from good to mediocre.
		The band is a six piece consisting of drums, bass, flute, two guitars and keyboards, with some members contributing the occasional (Swedish) vocals.

		Angra had quite an impressive track record in the music industry.
		They had a great run with the band and then it happened...three of the five members decided to leave.
		The point was that atmosphere and the friendship that developed within the band, which is something that never happened before in the old times.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by power metal rock band Angra called Temple Of Shadows
		When Matos and Co left Angra, most of their fans, myself included, assumed that it was all over, and even the fact that the band managed to release another studio album the following year ("Rebirth" - 2001) didn't make any difference to both their fans and the music press.
		Maybe because I was feeling a bit guilty for having rejected Angra without giving them a chance to prove themselves to me, or maybe because deep down inside I knew that the duet Loureiro and Bittencourt had not yet said their final world.
		The band seems to be far more focused and the guitar melodies that both Kiko and Rafael have created are not only memorable, but also quite admirable.

		Musicalwise, I think the evolution of the band itself will be the major responsible for any changes that may occur in the future.
		We think that, as a band, and I particularly support this idea, the more we mix, and the more we change, the bigger we could be for a global audience.
		Since the beginning, Angra's music has tried to deliver a positive message, in the same way as the aforementioned film seems to leave a half-opened door of hope for the characters as outcome.

		Then, the band heads back to Brazil where all the remaining stuff shall be recorded.

	ANGRA Temple Of Shadows reviews and MP3
		To top off the musical excellence, the album follows the rough storyline of a man back in the 11th century or earlier who is questioning his role in the Catholic Church, questioning their morals and going on to form his own short-lived religion.
		When the brand new ANGRA line-up released the breathtaking “Rebirth” back in 2000- 2001, after the departure of 3/5th of their personnel (later to form SHAMAN)I was convinced that the ANGRA banner would still be flying proudly again in the years to come, but nothing could have prepared me for the second new-ANGRA release!
		Angra really goes through the motions on this release, showing off the technical ability and song-writing talent of every member of the band.

	Amazon.com: Temple of Shadows: Music: Angra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The band itself deserves a top 3 spot as well, I pray they abandon their ethnic roots altogether if it means embracing the mastery found in "Temple of Shadows." It is dynamic enough to be set apart rythmically, as well as in melody compared to anything else out there.
		However unlike Angra under Matos, Temple is almost exclusively Euro Power Metal - with limited progressive interludes and little of the Brazilian influences that characterised their earlier albums.
		Angra is my favorite top 3 power metal bands, and this cd is a must if you are just beginning to listen to them.

		They were very familiar with Angra's work since the beginning but they have no personal involvement with the bands past.
		Yes,this is the evolution of a band with ten years of history.
		A band that started when the grunge trend was taking over and everyone were saying that Metal was getting annoying and not creative anymore.

		But still a good place is never empty, and there are always enough brave men who are eager to step in into a famous band and make it their home.
		He’s had the guts to become a new singer in Angra and succeed to such a charismatic frontman as Andre Matos.
		Venus was a side project, a band of friends from Brazil, they asked me to record the album because they didn't have a singer.

		No, even though they have different influences in their careers, I have to mention that Angra was also one big influence for them as musicians and they are very much aware of Angra's style.
		They came to the band with a lot of energy because they wanted to show their talents, so they put the band up again with their happiness.
		We had to practice a lot the songs during the pre-production, so during this time the band got in close contact and a great atmosphere of friendship has developed.

		That is one of their songs, I wish I could find more by them, but they do not have a lot of stuff on kazaa and I have not found a single torrent by them.
		This band isn't bad, I can't make out the lyrics to decide if they are in english or not lol, its my experience with viking bands that they are mainly in some norwegian toungue.
		Metal is not as commercial, there are tons of underground bands, bands that may not be signed, or are signed on labels you have never heard of, or foreign bands, and you sometimes have to dig around to find stuff by any given band.
